Mad Madge
Written by Rose Napoli | Directed by Andrea Donaldson
A Nightwood Theatre production in association with VideoCabaret
If you draw a line from Kim Kardashian way, way back, you’ll land on Margaret Cavendish, fiction writer, philosopher, designer, scientist, the OG Jack-of-all-Trades and master of none. She may not know how to spell, but with the help of a bastard brother, an unruly Queen, and a weepy musketeer, Margaret learns that it is possible to have it all. Paying homage to Jane Austen and Tina Fey in the same breath, this laugh-out-loud contemporary/period mashup suggests that perhaps our hunger for unbridled attention is not so shallow, after all.
